I was wondering if it would theoretically possible to add physical buttons to the OPO with software mods. I got this idea because if you turn on double tap to wake feature and then double tap in between two buttons, the device will wake, meaning that the OPO has sensors that could maybe be used to add more buttons.

Thanks in advance

Uh what? It's done via monitoring the screen, nothing to do with buttons.

As for adding physicial buttons, that means tapping into the hardware.

What he's saying is you could designate the areas between the cap buttons to have specific functions, as opposed to having the same function as the rest of the screen. The whole screen, and the cap buttons, are just one huge digitizer, the three buttons operate the way they do because those particular sections of the digitizer are assigned specific functions. In theory, you could assign any part of the digitizer that isn't aligned with the screen a specific function.
